Create Booking Template - Item Only Sales

You can create booking screen templates for accommodation with extra only booking screens - a good way to earn passive income selling local tours and/or merchandise. DOC Fishing Licence is a good example of an extra only booking screen.

We recommend you view the booking screen overview prior to commencing creation of a booking template as it will aid you in understanding the booking screen components.

The instructions below will show you how to create an accommodation item only booking screen template. For other booking templates types see related articles at the bottom of this page.
